Install app from Play Store without SIM card

I need a phone to use as a wireless monitor for a GoPro camera. The GoPro Quik software only works on Android 9 or later and is only available from Google Play. As far as I know, Google Play only works on Android phones with a working SIM card. Does anyone know, if I buy an UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy S9 and got a temporary SIM card, could I download the app and would it continue to work after the SIM card expired? This is the only thing I will use the phone for. If you know or have any suggestions please let me know.
