Hi Tuetawi,

I understand that you are not receiving the verification code to verify your account so that you can purchase an app. The following article has some information on this issue.

Two-factor authentication for Apple ID

Verification codes

A verification code is a temporary code sent to your trusted device or phone number when you sign in to a new device or browser with your Apple ID. You can also get a verification code from Settings on your trusted device.
A verification code is different from the device passcode you enter to unlock your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Get a code from Settings on your trusted device

If you can’t receive a verification code on your trusted devices automatically, you can get one from Settings, even if your device is offline.
From your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
In iOS 10.3 or later:

Go to Settings > [your name].

Tap Password & Security > Get Verification Code.

In iOS 10.3 or later, if your device is offline:

Go to Settings > [your name].

Tap Password & Security.

A message says "Account Details Unavailable." Tap Get Verification Code.

In iOS 10.2 or earlier:

Go to Settings > iCloud.

Tap your Apple ID username.

If your device is offline, tap Get Verification Code. If your device is online, tap Password & Security > Get Verification Code.

Let me know if this helps with your verification code issue. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities to post your question. Have a good rest of your day.
