As Swami mentioned, if it works in Android it's likely to mostly work in iOS too. But depending on your layout, you may need to design different interfaces for each OS. Apple is a bit particular about that and will reject an app that looks like an Android port. I'm not sure if Google will do the same, they're more flexible, but Android users won't appreciate an app that looks like it belongs on iOS.
So basically, your scripts probably won't need much alteration but the appearance might. The location of navigation bars and other controls, fonts, text alignment, button appearance, icons, and other visual properties varies by OS. Each OS has its own standard appearance.
You can get around some of this by using only unique custom icons and buttons sometimes. But title bar appearance and control placement are pretty much expected. I found this link to be helpful:

My application is pretty straight forward.....app version of a book.....jsut a pretty basic interface, livecloud.io integration via tsnet.
If your app is just a book, Apple may not accept it into the App Store. They want all books to go into the iBooks store and they may direct you there when you submit.
