I encountered an error when entering the verification code in Home Assistant 2023.8.3

Are you in China. If so, Apple has a different location server address. You may need to edit the iCloud3 configuration file.

File: /config/.storage/icloud3/```
configuration

"data": {
"tracking": {
"username": "your username",
"password": "your encoded password",
"encode_password": true,
"icloud_server_endpoint_suffix": "cn",

     ….,

Change `icloud_server_endpoint_suffix` parameter to add `cn`. Do not change the other parameters. Then restart HA. 

Let me know if this works and I will add a configuration parameter for this. There is a check to see what the country code is when iCloud3 starts to try to do this automatically. Please send the iCloud3 Log file `/config/icloud3-0.log` to geekstergary@gmail.com so I can check this out after you restart HA. 

[jhchenchong]

Yes, I am in China. I followed your instructions and modified the configuration, but unfortunately, it did not work and the error is still the same.

I tried to debug to see what happened, but it seems that it cannot run on the latest development version.

[gcobb321]

I will need the `/config/icloud3-0.log, file to see the cause of the error.

1. Turn on Debug log level —> Configure Settings > Page 2 > Format Parameters > Log Level > Debug auto restart
2. Restart HA and create error
3. Send the file to geekstergary@gmail.com or post it to GitHub. If you post it, I’ll delete it when I get the info I need.

I get the country code from HA. If it is cn, .cn is added to the the Apple iCloud web site address end point. I want to see if the verification code entry is failing because the web site is wrong.

[gcobb321]

TRY THIS FIRST BEFORE DOING THE ABOVE

Edit ‘/config/icloud3/support/pyicloud_ic3.py’. Change line 403 to:
AUTH_ENDPOINT = f"https://idmsa.apple.com/appleauth/auth{url_suffix}"

Lines 401 and 402 have the url_suffix. Line 403 does not.

Save the file and restart HA. Then retry the verification code entry.

I didn’t see any error messages in the above Log.

1. Did you make the code change before the log? If not, do that and restart HA.
2. Go through the process in the video (enter username and password) you will get verification code needed like before. So not go directly to the Enter Code screws. Select Save first, then go to it. The config did indicate the username/password were not entered and I’ll check to see it the code saves them before going to the Enter Code screen.
3. So save before going to that screen.

[jhchenchong]

I have modified the code according to your instructions.

1. I set "icloud_server_endpoint_suffix" to "cn" in "/config/.storage/icloud3/configuration"
2. modified line 403 of "/config/icloud3/support/pyicloud_ic3.py" to "AUTH_ENDPOINT = f"https://idmsa.apple.com/appleauth/auth{url_suffix}".
3. Then I restarted Home Assistant.

When I selected "save" and clicked on submit, I received a verification code from Apple. However, the page still showed "iCloud Account Login Failed, Invalid Username or Password" and did not redirect to another page.

[gcobb321]

The LOGIN line indicates you are logged into username-72……., password-Cc……..
Look in the configuration file and verify the username and password were saved
By selecting Save, then Submit, it would update the config file and not change screens.
Now select Enter/Request code and Submitted. That will display the Code entry screen. You can also display the screen from the Menu. You may have to request a code again and then enter it.

The error message may be wrong.

[jhchenchong]

I found that the value set for "icloud_server_endpoint_suffix" did not work, so I uncommented line 398 in "pyicloud_ic3.py". It seems to work now. Also, I realized that "AUTH_ENDPOINT" does not need "url_suffix". So, all I did was to uncomment line 398 in "pyicloud_ic3.py". Thanks a lot. This is an excellent custom integration.
