Like the title says, is it possible to create an iOS app that communicates wirelessly with an Arduino device, whether it's bluetooth or wifi, etc?
As an addon question, can bluetooth or wifi work through materials such as thick plastic?

You can either user bluetooth or wifi direct for the wireless communication . Apple provided rich apis for these framework.
For wifi direct there is framework called Multipeer Connectivity . You can find documentation : https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/MultipeerConnectivity/Reference/MultipeerConnectivityFramework/index.html
For Bluetooth there is framework called Core Bluetooth , you can find the documentation : https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternetWeb/Conceptual/CoreBluetooth_concepts/AboutCoreBluetooth/Introduction.html
