help composers, why this is not animating ?
I put log statement which gets printed with the changing float values (1f to 1.5f)

Seems .scale(scale.value) will helps.

Was my first approach, did not work

It doesn’t solve your issue but in this case you should use the lambda version to avoid recomposition
.graphicsLayer { scaleX = scale.value; scaleX = scale.value }

thanks for this tip

I think it's not animating because you don't give it content to animate :

@Composable
fun FrameBox(modifier: Modifier = Modifier, content: @Composable BoxScope.() -> Unit) {
    val scale by rememberInfiniteTransition().animateFloat(
        initialValue = 1f,
        targetValue = 1.5f,
        animationSpec = infiniteRepeatable(
            animation = tween(1000, easing = LinearEasing),
            repeatMode = RepeatMode.Reverse
        )
    )
    
    Box(
        modifier
            .border(width = 2.dp, color = MaterialTheme.colors.secondary)
            .graphicsLayer {
                scaleX = scale
                scaleY = scale
            },
        content = content)
}
