If you want to make purchases or update / download apps, including free apps, you need to have a payment method on file.
If you don't have a credit card or don't want to use a credit card, you can also use your Apple ID balance as payment method, see -> Add money to your Apple ID balance

You can download free apps, but you need to have a payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.
As long as you only download free apps, it costs nothing.
Then your payment method remains intact.
If you are going to download a free app, there is a possibility to purchase the 'better' version, for example from a free version to pro version.
But that is not mandatory.
However, with the free version there is an advertisement.
Use your Apple ID balance as default payment, then it is up to you whether you use it or not.
Free apps has also In-app pruchase.
Your payment method is actually a kind of deposit, if you buy something, it will be charged.
For example this is an free app, with Offers In-App Purchases.
Scoll down and you will see:
As long as you do not take out a trial period or a subscription, the app will remain free.
If you take a trial period or a subscription, you have to keep an eye on it yourself.
It still wont work even after i put mu credit card and all it wont let me reinstall the app
Why do i have to add funds for free apps
