@Uninen just set twisted on <21

But your asgi.py has a small issue you need to instanciate django app before use the AuthMiddlewareStack(…)

As on the docs https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/stable/deploying.html#configuring-the-asgi-application

FYI, Twisted 21.7.0 released with fixes for this issue:

• twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor will no longer raise a TypeError like “SelectorEventLoop required, instead got: <uvloop.Loop …>” (broken since 21.2.0). (#10106)
