fix(android): use reactApplicationContext.currentActivity#69

`ReactContextBaseJavaModule.getCurrentActivity()` was made `protected` and `@Deprecated` in React Native 0.80+ (the recommendation in the deprecation message is to use `reactApplicationContext.currentActivity` directly). In RN 0.80 with Kotlin compiling against the updated Java stub, the Kotlin-inherited property syntax `currentActivity` no longer resolves at the subclass level — the compiler emits `Cannot access 'getCurrentActivity': it is protected/protected and package/package in 'ReactContextBaseJavaModule'` or, depending on the toolchain version, a runtime crash on the `auth.login(activity!!, ...)` call site. Switching to `reactApplicationContext.currentActivity` (the property the deprecation message recommends) restores the behaviour on RN 0.80+ and leaves older RN versions functionally identical, since `reactApplicationContext` was already used elsewhere in the file (see `getName()` / `auth` getter). Affected entry points: `login`, `directLoginAction`, `loginWithPasskeys`, `registerPasskeys` (4 sites).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
reactApplicationContext.currentActivity is the correct modern accessor (the module-base currentActivity is deprecated). Thanks @airowe!

Summary
Replaces 4 uses of
currentActivityinFronteggRNModule.ktwithreactApplicationContext.currentActivity. Affected entry points:login,directLoginAction,loginWithPasskeys,registerPasskeys.Problem
ReactContextBaseJavaModule.getCurrentActivity()was madeprotected+@Deprecatedin React Native 0.80, with the deprecation message recommendingreactApplicationContext.currentActivitydirectly.In Kotlin compiling against the updated Java stub, the inherited-Java-property shorthand
currentActivityno longer resolves cleanly at the subclass level — depending on the Kotlin/RN toolchain versions you either get a compile error (Cannot access 'getCurrentActivity': it is protected ...) or a runtime NPE on theauth.login(activity!!, ...)site.Fix
Use the property the deprecation message points at.
reactApplicationContextis already used elsewhere in the same file (getName(), theauthgetter), so no new imports or fields needed.Compatibility
reactApplicationContext.currentActivityhas been the public getter onReactApplicationContextsince RN 0.60+, so this change is functionally identical on every supported RN version.Manual test plan
Reviewer / maintainer:
Cannot access 'getCurrentActivity'Kotlin error (before this PR: compile fails).cd example && yarn start:androidstill launches and login completes.login()— standard hosted logindirectLoginAction()— social provider direct login (e.g. Google)loginWithPasskeys()— passkey loginregisterPasskeys()— passkey registrationreact-native-sdk-e2e.yml) is green on this branch — covers thelogin()path.The change is a property rename (one symbol → another, same return type and semantics), so unit-test coverage is not added; behavioural equivalence is best verified by exercising each entry point in the example app.
