Unless you created the Apple ID by following the steps in the link below, you will need to add a verifiable credit card to the account before you can download anything.


Link-> Create or use an Apple ID without a payment method - Apple Support


Once the credit card has been verified correctly, it can be removed, and it will not ask for one again, unless a purchase is attempted and your account balance is less than the amount required to pay for the purchase.
