I'm about to start developing a mobile app and I'm wondering whether flash can be packaged with apps in both iOS and Android? Are there any implications to be aware of (such as iOS version compatibility?)

One of the main selling points of using the Adobe AIR SDK in Flash is to allow 'packaging' of apps for multiple platforms, including iOS and Android. You'll have to publish separately, of course, to get .ipa files and .apks, but one code-base gets you to both mobile platforms. I've had no trouble with iOS compatibility between all versions from 4.3 to 7. Depending on what you're trying to do you may want to incorporate ANEs -- Adobe Native Extensions -- which require some programming in native codes (Objective C or Java) to get some types of native functionality. I tend to use outside help for that.
