"I got some fruit to you."/ " I've got some fruit to you." "I got some fruit to you."/ " I've got some fruit to you." Do these two sentence mean the same way?

The preposition"to" doesn't fit here. You should use "for". "I got some fruit for you." could mean "I bought some fruit for you." I've got some fruit for you.=I have some fruit for you.

They have different meanings, but in fact the message is the same. 1. 'I got some fruit for you' means, for example, I went to the shop and 'I bought some fruit for you'. This is the past simple, used to talk about something that you did in the past. 2. 'I've got some fruit for you' means 'I have some fruit for you' now. It looks like a present perfect form, but it refers to the present time. Sometimes people say 'I got' to mean 'I have' but this is colloquial/incorrect English eg 'I got a problem'. You shouldn't use this form if you want to be taken seriously.

I think you might mean "I got some fruit from you" and "I've gotten some fruit from you". The only difference between the two is that the second one is more of a completed action.
