Long press animation with Swift UI

I have a long press gesture that highlights another button. The code looks like the following:

@GestureState var highlight = false

var body: some View {
    var longPress: some Gesture {
        LongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 3)
            .updating($highlight) { currentstate, gestureState, transaction in
                gestureState = currentstate
                transaction.animation = Animation.easeInOut(duration: 2.0)
            }
    }
    Text("highlight!")
        .gesture(longPress)
    Button(...) { ... }
        .accentColor(self.highlight ? .green : .none)                   
}

How do I make sure that the transitions from .none accent to .green accent and back are more smooth? At the moment it switches rather abruptly.

The .accentColor is not animatable modifier, however you can achieve the same effect (as soon as I understood) with the following approach.

demo

struct TestLongPressGesture: View {
    @GestureState var highlight = false
    var body: some View {
        var longPress: some Gesture {
            LongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 3)
                .updating($highlight) { currentstate, gestureState, transaction in
                    transaction.animation = Animation.easeInOut(duration: 2.0)
                    gestureState = currentstate
                }
        }
        return VStack {
            Text("highlight!")
                .gesture(longPress)
            Divider()
            Button("Button") { }
                .font(Font.largeTitle.bold())
                .foregroundColor(.white)
                .colorMultiply(self.highlight ? .green : .blue)
                .animation(.easeInOut, value: highlight)
        }
    }
}
