The iguana_shim.lua file is automatically inputted in your converted code from Iguana 6. This is because if you have APIs from Iguana 6 it might access the old APIs which no longer make sense in Iguana X.

The goal with this file was to make the conversion process as painless as possible on our end. Having to fix functions that don’t exist anymore would be a large pain and slow the conversion drastically.

NOTE: The file is meant to be a temporary patch to your interfaces. This means when you are developing in IguanaX, you can gradually delete the functions in the iguana_shim.lua file as you write an adequate fix for each old API. So, iguana_shim.lua is intended to re-create the old APIs in a manner you deal with these older calls in your own time.

Once each ‘shim’ function has a new way to complete the action, you can delete the iguana_shim.lua library.
