Django signal received not being called

I've used Django signals in the past. I'm working on a 1.10 app now, and for some reason I cannot get my receiver to be called.

app1/signals.py

from django.dispatch import Signal
list_member_updated = Signal(providing_args=['list_member_id',])

app1/models.py

print('Dispatching signal...')
list_member_updated.send(self.__class__, list_member_id=list_member.id)

app1/apps.py

class DjangoApp1Config(AppConfig):
    name = 'app1'

    def ready(self):
        import app1.signals

app2/util.py

from django.dispatch import receiver
from app1.signals import list_member_updated

@receiver(list_member_updated)
def handle_member_updated(sender, **kwargs):
    print('Received signal')

So I get the "Signal dispatched..." in the console, but not the "Received signal". I have a feeling I'm missing something simple, but I just cannot see it.

In app1/__init__.py add the mentioned line. it worked for me

default_app_config = 'app1.apps.DjangoApp1Config'

Note: The app1/__init__.py bits are not required if you are already referring to your AppConfig in the INSTALLED_APPS settings.

You can refer to this for more details.
