The best explaination is already provided by Django documentation.

To configure an application, create an apps.py module inside the application, then define a subclass of AppConfig there.

When INSTALLED_APPS contains the dotted path to an application module, by default, if Django finds exactly one AppConfig subclass in the apps.py submodule, it uses that configuration for the application. This behavior may be disabled by setting AppConfig.default to False.

If the apps.py module contains more than one AppConfig subclass, Django will look for a single one where AppConfig.default is True.

If no AppConfig subclass is found, the base AppConfig class will be used.

  • So, if you have just one AppConfig subclass then is it true that the value of AppConfig.default is irrelevant? – Phil O Aug 07 '21 at 10:58
