Compile generic APKs without the need of installing Android SDK

Is it possible to create/compile generic APKs without needing to install the Android SDK? So you could install/sideload it on systems that don't rely on Google Play Services, like LineageOS, SailfishOS with Android App Support, etc. It's annoying to be tied to Google with a developer account and be forced to send my ID card for registration. They've gone too far with this!

not possible as it uses SDK

however you dont need to have a google accound to compile an app, and you can distribute genereated APK, in any other "store" like pureapk
