Can't enter verification code on iPhone 4 / iOS 7

I've done a new setup of iPhone 4 with iOS 7. When I enter my Apple ID and password, it sends the verification code to my primary iPhone. But back on the iPhone 4, there is no screen popup to enter the verification code. Perhaps some limitation of iOS 7?

I just need to download one app on this device. Any ideas how to do this? (My latest version of iTunes, they took away ability to download app on PC and push to iPhone).

My last stab may be to create new Apple ID altogether.

I believe so. I had the same thing with an old version of tvOS. It's been a while but I recall that you enter your Apple ID password followed without a space by the six-digit code you were sent.

I'm not finding an Apple support article dealing with this, even in the archived stuff. If the phone still has a valid SIM card, see if your carrier can help.

What app are you trying to download? I'd be more inclined to believe the iPhone 4 isn't capable of running the app as the highest version of iOS you can run on an iPhone 4 is iOS 7.1.2 and VERY VERY few apps can be installed on a device that old.
