This part (Then, click and drag the icon in the viewport to center it in the game view.) in the docs results in the following warning and if not performed, gives the previously mentioned issue after running the scene.

Can't reproduce this (Godot v4.4.1.stable - Android - Single-window, 1 monitor - Vulkan (Mobile) - integrated Adreno (TM) 610 - (8 threads)).

Thank you for trying to reproduce the issue.
If we want to avoid the warning mentioned above (0:10 in your video), we have to drag the sprite after the node is ready like this:

func _ready() -> void:
	screen_size = get_viewport_rect().size
	global_position = screen_size / 2
	global_position.x = global_position.x / 2 

Yes, dragging the sprite to the center and running the script and scene works but gives the above warning.
I will change the title to be relevant to this.

Another way to remove the warning: Use a separate Node2D for the scene root.

[SriramAnanth2912]

This is not a critical warning. Beginners can ignore this warning.

If you want to resolve this, follow @GlitchedCode922's suggestion by creating a seperate Node2D for the scene root.
Tree structure:

• Node2D
  • Sprite2D
