update_all_contenttypes seemingly not working with Django 1.8

I was getting the following error upon running a certain function:

django.contrib.contenttypes.models.DoesNotExist: ContentType matching query does not exist.

Based upon ContentType matching query does not exist on post_syncdb I tried doing

from django.contrib.contenttypes.management import update_all_contenttypes
 update_all_contenttypes() # make sure all content types exist

at the beginning of that function.

Of course, as ImportError: cannot import name update_all_contenttypes mentions, update_all_contenttypes appears to have been silently removed in Django 1.8 , so that didn't work. Next I tried removing the above snippet and instead adding the following to the beginning of that function:

from django.apps import apps
from django.contrib.contenttypes.management import update_contenttypes

def update_all_contenttypes(**kwargs):
    for app_config in apps.get_app_configs():
        update_contenttypes(app_config, **kwargs)

update_all_contenttypes()

(Other than the last line, i.e. update_all_contenttypes(), the snippet directly above this comes from https://mcmap.net/q/355928/-importerror-cannot-import-name-update_all_contenttypes ).

However, I'm still getting django.contrib.contenttypes.models.DoesNotExist: ContentType matching query does not exist.

The line I'm getting that error on is SomeObject.objects.all().delete()

Here's the full stack trace:
