How to Create Smooth Animations with Image View and Scroll View in SwiftUI

If you’re a SwiftUI developer, you may have encountered challenges while implementing image carousels with smooth animations. A common issue is ensuring that the first image displays correctly, while also allowing for smooth drag-and-swipe gestures. In this guide, we will discuss how to refine your code to achieve a functional and visually appealing image carousel.

The Problem

You might already have a code that allows users to swipe through images by dragging, and it appears to show smooth animations. However, you might face an issue where the first image does not display correctly and can be stuck between other images. Let’s break down the intended functionality:

Drag-to-Swipe Functionality: Users should be able to swipe through the images seamlessly with their fingers.

Smooth Animation: The transitions between images should appear fluid and gradual.

Correct Display of the First Image: The first image should show up initially when the view is loaded, without any positioning issues.

The Solution
