SwiftUI - using variable count within ForEach

I have a view created through a ForEach loop which needs to take a variable count within the ForEach itself i.e. I need the app to react to a dynamic count and change the UI accoridngly.

Here is the view I am trying to modify:

struct AnimatedTabSelector: View {
    let buttonDimensions: CGFloat
    @ObservedObject var tabBarViewModel: TabBarViewModel
    
    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            Spacer().frame(maxWidth: .infinity).frame(height: 20)
                .background(Color.red)
            
            ForEach(1..<tabBarViewModel.activeFormIndex + 1) { _ in
                Spacer().frame(maxWidth: buttonDimensions).frame(height: 20)
                    .background(Color.blue)
                Spacer().frame(maxWidth: .infinity).frame(height: 20)
                    .background(Color.green)
            }
            
            Circle().frame(
                width: buttonDimensions,
                height: buttonDimensions)
                .foregroundColor(
                    tabBarViewModel.activeForm.loginFormViewModel.colorScheme
                )
            
            ForEach(1..<tabBarViewModel.loginForms.count - tabBarViewModel.activeFormIndex) { _ in
                Spacer().frame(maxWidth: .infinity).frame(height: 20)
                    .background(Color.red)
                Spacer().frame(maxWidth: buttonDimensions).frame(height: 20)
                    .background(Color.blue)
            }
            
            Spacer().frame(maxWidth: .infinity).frame(height: 20)
                .background(Color.gray)
        }
    }
}

And the viewModel I am observing:

class TabBarViewModel: ObservableObject, TabBarCompatible {
    var loginForms: [LoginForm]
    @Published var activeForm: LoginForm
    @Published var activeFormIndex = 0
    private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
    
    init(loginForms: [LoginForm]) {
        self.loginForms = loginForms
        self.activeForm = loginForms[0] /// First form is always active to begin
        setUpPublisher()
    }
    
    func setUpPublisher() {
        for i in 0..<loginForms.count {
            loginForms[i].loginFormViewModel.$isActive.sink { isActive in
                if isActive {
                    self.activeForm = self.loginForms[i]
                    self.activeFormIndex = i
                }
            }
            .store(in: &cancellables)
        }
    }
}

And finally the loginFormViewModel:

class LoginFormViewModel: ObservableObject {
    @Published var isActive: Bool
    
    let name: String
    let icon: Image
    let colorScheme: Color
    
    init(isActive: Bool = false, name: String, icon: Image, colorScheme: Color) {
        self.isActive = isActive
        self.name = name
        self.icon = icon
        self.colorScheme = colorScheme
    }
}

Basically, a button on the login form itself sets its viewModel's isActive property to true. We listen for this in TabBarViewModel and set the activeFormIndex accordingly. This index is then used in the ForEach loop. Essentially, depending on the index selected, I need to generate more or less spacers in the AnimatedTabSelector view.

However, whilst the activeIndex variable is being correctly updated, the ForEach does not seem to react.

Update:

The AnimatedTabSelector is declared as part of this overall view:

struct TabIconsView: View {
    
    struct Constants {
        static let buttonDimensions: CGFloat = 50
        static let buttonIconSize: CGFloat = 25
        static let activeButtonColot = Color.white
        static let disabledButtonColor = Color.init(white: 0.8)
        
        struct Animation {
            static let stiffness: CGFloat = 330
            static let damping: CGFloat = 22
            static let velocity: CGFloat = 7
        }
    }
    
    @ObservedObject var tabBarViewModel: TabBarViewModel
    
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            AnimatedTabSelector(
                buttonDimensions: Constants.buttonDimensions,
                tabBarViewModel: tabBarViewModel)
            
            HStack {
                Spacer()
                
                ForEach(tabBarViewModel.loginForms) { loginForm in
                    Button(action: {
                        loginForm.loginFormViewModel.isActive = true
                    }) {
                        loginForm.loginFormViewModel.icon
                            .font(.system(size: Constants.buttonIconSize))
                            .foregroundColor(
                                tabBarViewModel.activeForm.id == loginForm.id ? Constants.activeButtonColot : Constants.disabledButtonColor
                            )
                    }
                    .frame(width: Constants.buttonDimensions, height: Constants.buttonDimensions)
                    Spacer()
                }
            }
        }
        .animation(Animation.interpolatingSpring(
            stiffness: Constants.Animation.stiffness,
            damping: Constants.Animation.damping,
            initialVelocity: Constants.Animation.velocity)
        )
    }
}

UPDATE:

I tried another way by adding another published to the AnimatedTabSelector itself to check that values are indeed being updated accordingly. So at the end of the HStack in this view I added:

.onAppear {
            tabBarViewModel.$activeFormIndex.sink { index in
                self.preCircleSpacers = index + 1
                self.postCircleSpacers = tabBarViewModel.loginForms.count - index
            }
            .store(in: &cancellables)
        }

And of course I added the following variables to this view:

@State var preCircleSpacers = 1
@State var postCircleSpacers = 6
@State var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()

Then in the ForEach loops I changed to:

ForEach(1..<preCircleSpacers)

and

ForEach(1..<postCircleSpacers)

respectively.

I added a break point in the new publisher declaration and it is indeed being updated with the expected figures. But the view is still failing to reflect the change in values
