Will Apple call for a compromised Apple ID? I had a strange call and they wanted me to download an app...I hung up but am wondering is this is common?

Unfortunately, it is a very common scam attempt.
Apple does not make such calls.
All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.

What sad and awful people Thanks for your help!
You are quite welcome.
Indeed they are awful, but you did the right thing by hanging up.
