When we build our own framework, is it possible to combine Release/Debug, Simulator/Device all in one?

Or do we have to build separate framework for each combination?

For example;

Device+Release
Device+Debug
Simulator+Debug

No it's not possible to have a "Device+Release and Device+Debug" in one framework.
You can have "Device+Release and Simulator+Debug" OR "Device+Debug and Simulator+Debug" in one framework.

P.S.: The now recommended method distributing frameworks is to use an XCFramework.

As mentioned by electricbolt, the recommded solution here is to package the different variants as an XCFramework. There was a session on this at WWDC 2019 Binary Frameworks in Swift (the XCFramework content applies to any framework, not just ones implemented in Swift).
