Trouble with Django ASGI (DAPHNE) Deployment on HEROKU

Question

i've been trying to deploy for the last couple days and I just can't seem to get it working: on heroku , it says application deployed but then when i go into the logs I see errors. I try opening up the app (for example, admin page) and I get application error. I've tried calling the get_asgi_application prior to importing anything else, that didn't work. Here are the errors i recieve: ERROR

   File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 136, in check_apps_ready
    raise AppRegistryNotReady("Apps aren't loaded yet.")
 django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.
Process exited with status 1
 State changed from starting to crashed

at=error code=H10 desc="App crashed" method=GET path="/favicon.ico" host=myappname.herokuapp.com request_id=18f76666-adff-40f8-83ae-55df56d78208 fwd="24.150.189.187" dyno= connect= service= status=503 bytes= protocol=https

my asgi file:

import os
from django.core.asgi import get_asgi_application
import django
#from channels.auth import AuthMiddlewareStack



#from channels.security.websocket import AllowedHostsOriginValidator
from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter, URLRouter


#from .settings import ALLOWED_HOSTS
from myappnameapp.routing import *

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myappname.settings')
django.setup()


#from django.urls import path

django_asgi_app = get_asgi_application()
from myappname.auth_middleware import TokenAuthMiddleware

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({
    # (http->django views is added by default)
    "http": django_asgi_app,
    'websocket': TokenAuthMiddleware(
        URLRouter(
            websocket_urlpatterns
        )
    ),
})

my procfile:

release: python manage.py migrate
web: daphne myappname.asgi:application --port $PORT --bind 0.0.0.0 -v2
worker: python manage.py runworker channel_layer -v2

SETTINGS file:
