You can always use the APK. All content is permitted in Nostr, which means that this app must be an over 18 app.
Whats the APK please
Providing ID checks kinda deletes the appeal of Nostr and no other clients require this as far as I know?
Just to clarify, amethyst is not doing a kyc check. The Google play store is. Amethyst/nostr don't care who you are. That is google abiding by your local laws.
The APK release is downloadable from the GitHub repo and can be sideloaded. Like most Android apps, you don't have to install through Google play (a benefit of Android).

Os there another option than APK Mirror as also requires a credit card to verify my account?
