Can we create production ready application in Lazarus Android

It depends on the definition of "productions ready". And Android is a
fast moving target, so I can say not production friendly by Google
itself. It is breaking often basic habits . Eg. VPN L2Tp/IPsec is
working up to Version 12, but not working with V13, because some
breaking changes in the used protocol, this can be a no-go for
production and company hardware.

I am planning to build Lazarus Android application for end user's.

I don't know what type of Android device they are using.I mean Android
version.

As well as it should support Android phone manufacturer os too.

I can, but I don't know your capabilities, such as your lack of
understanding of Android development from this statement:
QuoteI don't know what type of Android device they are using.I mean
Android version.Basically the target version you set is as you wish,
but if you want it to be available in Play Store you must follow Play
Store rules, which is almost always expect the target to be the
latest-1. However, you can specify minimum version to allow devices
with older version to install and run your app. The runnability is
your responsibility to check, though. Google only does basic sanity
check.

They're mostly built on top, not changing any of the core API. Your
app will work in practically any Android based OS. The story would be
different if you want to support that "on top" additional features.
For example, Xiaomi phones have access to Mi Cloud, which your app
might be able to utilize (unchecked, though). You can still
differentiate devices by reading build.prop (through its wrappers API)
by checking the manufacturer field and only open the feature when the
phone supports it, though.
