Animation doesn't work on AnyTransition SwiftUI

Question

I'm currently using SwiftUI on a function where a list of images change automatically with opacity animation for each image.

While I've currently managed to get a transition going, the opacity animation does not work no matter what I try.

Could someone please help me out with this...

The code I'm working on is as follows:

//
//  EpilogueThree.swift
//

import SwiftUI

struct EpilogueThree: View {
    let images = ["1", "2", "3"]
    let imageChangeTimer = Timer.publish(every: 3, on: .main, in: .common).autoconnect()
    let transition = AnyTransition.asymmetric(insertion: .slide, removal: .scale).combined(with: .opacity)
    @State private var imagePage = 2
    @State private var currentImageIndex = 0
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            VStack {
                Text("Page: \(imagePage)")
                    .font(.largeTitle)
                    .foregroundColor(.white)
                    .padding(.horizontal, 20)
                    .padding(.vertical, 5)
                    .background(.black.opacity(0.75))
                Image(images[currentImageIndex])
                    .resizable()
                    .ignoresSafeArea()
                    .transition(transition)
                    .onReceive(imageChangeTimer) { _ in
                        if imagePage > 0 {
                            self.currentImageIndex = (self.currentImageIndex + 1) % self.images.count
                            imagePage -= 1
                        }
                    }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct EpilogueThree_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        EpilogueThree()
            .previewInterfaceOrientation(.landscapeRight)
    }
}

The current code acts something like this:

But the code I want needs to do something like this:

We can make image removable in this case by add id (new id - new view) and add animation to container... for animation.

Here is fixed part. Tested with Xcode 13.4 / iOS 15.5

VStack {

// .. other code

    Image(images[currentImageIndex])
        .resizable()
        .ignoresSafeArea()
        .id(imagePage)           // << here !!
        .transition(transition)
        .onReceive(imageChangeTimer) { _ in
            if imagePage > 0 {
                self.currentImageIndex = (self.currentImageIndex + 1) % self.images.count
                imagePage -= 1
            }
        }
}
.animation(.default, value: imagePage)  // << here !!
