Add device for downloading apps on iphone

I want to know how to add a device to my iPhone for downloading from the google play store. Currently only an old phone I no longer use is on it now. I want to add my new iPhone.

iPhone XR, iOS 17

An iPhone cannot download from the Google Play store, just like an Android phone cannot download from the App Store. You may be able to access content purchased using an Android device such as books, movies, or music using the relevant app on your iPhone from the App Store.
