The edit button disappeared on me so I'm double posting. My apologies. In my continued searching, I found my answer in another thread in these forums. I was not aware that I needed to add additional lines of code which did indeed work. Problem is solved!!! Here is what I added:
// enable Reality Composer animations...
.gesture(
SpatialTapGesture()
.targetedToAnyEntity()
.onEnded {
$0.entity.applyTapForBehaviors()
}
