This problem is not actually an error that will prevent your application from running, and it is even possible to ignore it, however if you ignore and do not use the padding provided by the Scaffold it may happen that components inside the Scaffold are overlapped by Scaffold components, for example the top bar.

To avoid this problem in the right way you will need something like this:

Scaffold(
    topBar = {
        // ...
    }
) { innerPadding -> // padding calculated by scaffold
    // it doesn't have to be a column,
    // can be another component that accepts a modifier with padding
    Column(
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxSize()
            .padding(paddingValues = innerPadding) // padding applied here
    ) {
        // all content should be here
    }
}
