Apple ID verification failed
I keep getting an error when trying to log into my Apple ID saying “verification failed, The application you have selected does not exist”
this is on my iPhone 8, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 2.

I'm also experiencing this today (June 2, 2020), but on a Mac.
Maybe some more detail that could help: this morning I got an error "Your Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons." Not entirely sure what happened, I went through the recommended steps and reset my password on a MacBook Pro (2019 - work laptop), and then logged in to AppleID/iCloud again. I repeated this on my iPhone XS successfully. I was also able to log in to my AppleTV successfully.
This evening, I opened up my MacBook Pro (2015 - personal laptop) and got prompted to log back in with Apple ID - not surprising. But I got the "The application you have selected does not exist" error repeatedly. I rebooted also. No luck.
Edit: There is indeed an issue ongoing - if you look at https://www.apple.com/ca/support/systemstatus/ - there is an outage listed:
iCloud Account & Sign In - Issue
Today, 5:16 PM - ongoing
Some users are affected
Users may be unable to sign in.
(note that's EDT, so the issue was known almost 2hrs prior to the original post, and almost 3hrs from now.

Just got off the phone with Apple...they said this is happening with everyone right now because they are updating their cloud. They said it should work again in a few hours. I saw this same issue posted elsewhere with no answers yet so thought this would help.
Just got off the phone with Apple support they’re saying it’s a system wide situation and it should be fixed within a couple of hours!
I faced a similar issue with an iPhone 7, iPad Air 3 and a Macbook Air. Resetting the password didn't help but we signed out of the app store on one of devices and signed back in and it asked for a verification code on the other two devices. Once we put the verification code in, we didn't have this problem anymore. It was just asking for some sort of two-factor verification.
Also: we tried resetting the password but that didn't work for us so that's why we ended up doing this.

Thanks for the update.
I manually checked for updates and installed an update to fix this issue.
I dint get why people pollute the discussion with 100 messages of “me too”... that’s not helpful at all. Just makes it hard to find solutions.

I'm on the phone now with Apple Support and they are saying that are there services related to iCloud that are down since 5:00 (I'm assuming mountain time) that is causing this issue. Hang tight is the general resolution for the moment.
I see iCloud sign in issue reported on their site: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ starting 5:16 PM on 06/02
