I am starting a new project in Django 2.2 using the same commands as I always do:
python3 -m venv django-env
. django-env/bin/activate
pip install django
django-admin startproject mysite
cd mysite/
python3 manage.py runserver 8080
This should result in a running Django site, ready to write some code. Unfortunately, now I'm getting a strange error:
LookupError: No installed app with label 'admin'.

LookupError: No installed app with label 'admin'.
However after downgrading version of Django with pip install django==2.1.8
Everything is back to normal and works as expected.
I have looked at Django 2.2 release notes and list of backward incompatible changes and deprecated features and haven't found anything. Can anyone please shed some light as to what is happening?

django-admin is Django’s command-line utility for administrative tasks. This document outlines all it can do. In addition, manage.py is automatically created in each Django project. It does the same thing as django-admin but also sets the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable so that it points to your project’s settings.py file.
By default, Django will use IPython or bpython if either is installed. If both are installed, specify which one you want like so: If you have a “rich” shell installed but want to force use of the “plain” Python interpreter, use python as the interface name, like so: Disables reading the startup script for the “plain” Python interpreter.
Sends a test email (to confirm email sending through Django is working) to the recipient (s) specified. For example: There are a couple of options, and you may use any combination of them together: Mails the email addresses specified in MANAGERS using mail_managers (). Mails the email addresses specified in ADMINS using mail_admins ().
Allows Django to skip an app’s initial migration if all database tables with the names of all models created by all CreateModel operations in that migration already exist. This option is intended for use when first running migrations against a database that preexisted the use of migrations.
The key error is earlier in the traceback:
raise ImproperlyConfigured('SQLite 3.8.3 or later is required (found %s).' % Database.sqlite_version)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: SQLite 3.8.3 or later is required (found 3.7.17).
In Django 2.2, the minimum version of SQLite is increased from 3.7.15 to 3.8.3. Your installed version is too old.

This usually happens if you were previously working in an older version python/django, and now you try to run the app in newer version. To fix this, migrate and apply migrations, install any modules found missing. To avoid these kind of issues, use container like docker.
