Hello,
I have apple mac book pro retina. I have installed Sinahala unicode. But typing Sinhalese on mac book keyboard seems still problematic. For example, when i type text with 'combuwa' character in Sinhala, - ෙ , see this is displayed totally wrong, always following with a dotted 'O' letter. What is the solution i should look for this.

It looks like Apple doesn't support it yet. Sorry.
I think you are mistaken. Kombuwa is TYPED second and then it displays first. That is how Unicode Sinhala works -- input is in phonetic order, not visual order. Please read the first item in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Sinhala_Font_Guide#Tips_on_Writing_in_Sinhala
There is no problem with Apple support in this case.
There are some other problems, however:

It looks like you are typing the characters in the wrong order. Type the combuwa after the following letter.
