I do not recieve a code to enroll this in Home Assistant so I can't use this IOS Cloud integration in HA right now.

Here you can read what I found in a quick search about the incident:

ICloud 2FA Verification Code Issue
When using a security key as two-factor authentication (2FA) for iCloud, you might not receive an iCloud verification code if the security key is the primary method of authentication. Instead, the security key is used to verify your identity, and no additional code is sent via SMS or email.

However, if you are experiencing issues where you are not receiving an iCloud verification code even though you have a security key set up, it could be due to the fact that the security key is treated as another trusted device rather than a secondary authentication method. This means that if you attempt to sign in from a new device or browser, you would typically use the security key to authenticate, and no additional verification code would be sent.

If you need to receive a verification code for some reason, ensure that you have at least one trusted phone number on file where you can receive verification codes. You can also request a code directly from the Settings app on a trusted device.

It's important to note that the security key does not prevent iCloud password changes on trusted devices, as a thief could potentially change the password using the "forgot my password" feature and receive an SMS code to the trusted device, even if a security key is enabled.
