Go to app.py, and change the ENV = 'dev' to ENV = 'prod'

I am having the same problem. BUT I think I know what it is yet I don't know how to fix it.
I had successfully deployed a previous version of my app. Days later, I tried to upload a newer version and got that same message. I suspect that the changes are not getting committed to git (not Heroku) as the previous version is still running and it may have something to do with the virtual environment or not committing correctly (i.e.: not committing to the right folder.)

SQLAlchemy has stopped supporting 'postgres', and now has to be 'postgresql'.

To work around it, change postgres to postgresql In your app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = ''

I have a SQLITE db file already with data, and I'd like to deploy to Heroku. How can I do?
When I tried to create postgresql table on heroku python cli this error happened and won't let me create the table:

RuntimeError: No application found. Either work inside a view function or push an application context. See http://flask-sqlalchemy.pocoo.org/contexts/.

My app repository is in: https://github.com/guimatheus92/Game-Recommendation-System

My app file is in init.py:

# init.py

from flask import Flask
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from flask_login import LoginManager 
# For relative imports to work in Python 3.6
import os, sys; sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))
import re

# init SQLAlchemy so we can use it later in our models
db = SQLAlchemy()

def create_app():
    app = Flask(__name__)

    app.config['SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS'] = False    
    app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = environ.get('SECRET_KEY')
    app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = environ.get('DATABASE_URL') or 'sqlite:///Games.db'
        
    db.init_app(app)

    login_manager = LoginManager()
    login_manager.login_view = 'auth.login'
    login_manager.init_app(app)

    from models import User

    @login_manager.user_loader    
    def load_user(user_id):
        # since the user_id is just the primary key of our user table, use it in the query for the user
        return User.query.get(int(user_id))

    # blueprint for auth routes in our app
    from auth import auth as auth_blueprint
    app.register_blueprint(auth_blueprint)

    # blueprint for non-auth parts of app
    from main import main as main_blueprint
    app.register_blueprint(main_blueprint)

    # blueprint for non-auth parts of app
    from games import games as main_blueprint
    app.register_blueprint(main_blueprint)

    # blueprint for non-auth parts of app
    from ml_utils import ml_utils as main_blueprint
    app.register_blueprint(main_blueprint)

    return app
