If you're using an up-to-date biblatex, and load it with the style=apa option it will format things according to the APA7 specfiications in any document class. You can get APA6 by using the apa6 package option. The apa7 document class is for producing APA conforming manuscripts or preprints, it doesn't do any formatting of the bibliography. So I'm not sure what you mean by it not working with article:
Here's a simple example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage[style=apa]{biblatex}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\addbibresource{/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/doc/latex/biblatex-apa/biblatex-apa-test-references.bib}
\begin{document}
\textcite{10.15:105c}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage[style=apa]{biblatex}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\addbibresource{/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/doc/latex/biblatex-apa/biblatex-apa-test-references.bib}
\begin{document}
\textcite{10.15:105c}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Notice that if you change the style to apa6 the formatting of the entry changes.

I thought this was the only way to get APA 7th - formatted references? Is there a way to get APA 7 style to work with article? I only managed to get article to work with APA 6, not 7.
