The solution was quite counterintuitive. You have to delete the

class AccountsConfig(AppConfig):
    default_auto_field = 'django.db.models.BigAutoField'
    name = "accounts"

from apps.py\accounts\apps\mysite. Then run python manage.py makemigrations and 2 new models ‘UserPersona‘ and ‘UserProfile‘ are created. the output in the terminal:

mysite\apps\accounts\migrations\0001_initial.py
    - Create model UserPersona
    - Create model UserProfile

The name in apps.py should be the same (value) that you put in INSTALLED_APPS (in settings.py). That’s the correct one.

from django.apps import AppConfig

class AccountsConfig(AppConfig):
    default_auto_field = "django.db.models.BigAutoField"
    name = "mysite.apps.accounts"

settings.py code:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'mysite.apps.accounts',
]

The name in AppConfig should be same as the name provided in Installed Apps i.e., it should be "mysite.apps.accounts".

To define new app you do not need to add it’s path just
app it’s name like that 'accounts' note that app name is case sensitive

so your installed app became :

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'accounts',
]
