is it possible for my iphone 8 plus 256gb to run on android
iPhone 8 Plus
You very likely got a fake iPhone then. IPhones cannot run Android OS in any way shape or form.
Can you post a picture of the phone and screen that makes you think its running Android?

No, they are different operating systems.
No. The operating system - iOS in your case - has to be matched to the processor. Similarly iOS can't be run on an Android phone.
Therefore it's not an iPhone, but a phone made to look like an iPhone but is actually an Android phone: you've been, as they say, sold a pup.
Where did you purchase this bogus iPhone?
Please share to prevent others from going there.
i don't know whats happening then to an iPhone 8 plus that i bought used that its running on android. i can't download from the apps store but it from the play store and when i tried to factory reset it, the android operating system posed up.
I am not able to know if its a micro-usb port or the lightning port.
The boot and turn off sequence follows the pattern you've just described. The slider shows when the power button is held down for a few seconds and when i turn it on, the apple logo comes up and after a few moments, the lock screen comes up.
I got it used and not all the assesories came with it.

So you're saying here that it shows the Apple boot-up, and in your earlier post that you think it's running Android 😟. Some photos of the screen at the start-up and when settled down would help, if you can manage that.
so how do i identify a genuine iPhone 8 plus, is the imei enough proof and how can i authenticate the imei?
Can you post a picture of the iPhone in question?
What ports and buttons does it have?
A Picture of the screen would also help.
No the IMEI is merely an identifier for the cell companies.
You can use the serial number here to verify its a real serial number from Apple: Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support
However, the fact the serial number is real, is no guarantee the device its attached to is real.
Other clues, include the charging port. Is it an actual Lightning port, or a micro-usb port. Fake iPhones normally have micro-usb ports.
The boot and turn off sequence. To turn off an iPhone, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the slider appears on screen. Then slide it to the right to turn it off. No slider, fake phone.
Turn if back on by holding the power button for a couple of seconds. You should see the Apple logo, and after a few moments it will show the lock screen.
If anything else appears, its likely a fake iPhone.
Look at the headphones. If they have a 3.5mm jack and the phone actually has a 3.5mm port, then its fake. The real iPhone 8 Plus will not have a 3.5mm headphone port, and the packed in headphones will have a Lightning connector instead of thr 3.5mm jack.
And as you have seen, if you get the Google Play Store rather than the iTunes App Store when tapping this icon:
