How Get rid of NDK compiler warning: "APP_PLATFORM is larger.." and "Invalid package"

I have the following Application.mk

APP_PLATFORM := android-9
APP_STL := gnustl_static
APP_CPPFLAGS := -frtti -fexceptions -O2 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp
APP_ABI := armeabi-v7a
LOCAL_ARM_NEON := true

and when running ndk-build I always get the warnings:

Invalid attribute name: 
    package
/Users/tmanthey/Documents/android/android-ndk-r8d/build/core/add-application.mk:128: Android NDK: WARNING: APP_PLATFORM android-14 is larger than android:minSdkVersion  in ./AndroidManifest.xml    
Invalid attribute name: 
    package

This is my AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    package="com.evotegra.aCoDriver"
