Your code should never access :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` directly. Use the

.. admonition:: Application labels must be unique
.. admonition:: Application names and labels must be unique in
:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`
Application labels (that is, the final part of the dotted path to
application packages) *must* be unique in :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`.
For example, you can't include both ``django.contrib.auth`` and
``myproject.auth``.
Application :attr:`names <django.apps.AppConfig.name>` — the dotted Python
path to the application package — must be unique. There is no way to
include the same application twice, short of duplicating its code under
another name.
Application :attr:`labels <django.apps.AppConfig.label>` — by default the
final part of the name — must be unique too. For example, you can't
include both ``django.contrib.auth`` and ``myproject.auth``. However, you
can relabel an application with a custom configuration that defines a
different :attr:`~django.apps.AppConfig.label`.
These rules apply regardless of whether :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`
references application configuration classes on application packages.
