Additional migration is generated

[rlapostolle]

Describe the bug
python manage.py makemigrations is generating a 0003_alter_apikey_id.py file for drf_simple_apikey app.
This looks wrong as the migrations files should already be up to date in the app.

To Reproduce
Not sure if this is related to django version or anything else.
Using Django 4.2.11, run python manage.py makemigrations.
A third migration step has been generated and will be applied.

Expected behavior
No migration step should be generated

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: docker image python:3.11-alpine
• Version: 2.1.0
• Python Version: 3.11
• Django Version: 4.2.11

That must be an error on my part. thanks for the issue, I will explore this

After investigation, the error is due to the DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD = 'django.db.models.BigAutoField' in your settings.py file. When I started the project, I didn't make this change, so id fields were generated using the models.AutoField.

A way to resolve this will be on my side to modify the 0001_initial.py file, but that will be dangerous for people who might be upgrading the versions, as it might cause some migrations issues. The safest way might be to add this migration to the package officially; I don't see what it can create badly.
