I have already saved my_app in installed apps[] of settings.py in my project. enter image description here

Answer 1

You should have your app config setup in ./my_app/apps.py with this format:

# /my_app/apps.py
from django.apps import AppConfig

class MyAppConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'my_app'

And then add call that config class it to the list of installed apps in Settings.py :

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    # --------------------------
    'my_app.apps.MyAppConfig',
]

Answer 2

Make sure that you have added your app in your INSTALLED_APPS . After that try to run above command.
