To reproduce

When the Internet speed is very slow, after calling the payPalClient.startCheckout(new PayPalNativeCheckoutRequest(this.orderId, null)) method, the "Secure login for you" prompt will pop up. At this time, quickly close and press the return key to close the current payment page. Will trigger config.checkoutBaseActivity must not be null

Expected behavior

no crash

Hi @tanggeng - thanks for reporting this issue! The PayPalNativePayments module is in the process of being deprecated, so we suggest migrating to the PayPalWebPayments module to resolve this issue.
