Description

Describe the bug
When using the icon picker field type in a custom ACF block with a custom icon set I am getting the following error when trying to edit a page where that block is used:

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/fields/class-acf-field-icon_picker.php:132 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): acf_field_icon_picker->render_field(Array) #1 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array) #2 /var/www/html/wp-includes/plugin.php(565): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/acf-hook-functions.php(113): do_action_ref_array('acf/render_fiel...', Array) #4 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): _acf_apply_hook_variations(Array) #5 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array) #6 /var/www/html/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #7 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/acf-field-functions.php(807): do_action('acf/render_fiel...', Array) #8 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/acf-field-functions.php(763): acf_render_field(Array) #9 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/acf-field-functions.php(614): acf_render_field_wrap(Array, 'div', 'field') #10 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/pro/blocks.php(613): acf_render_fields(Array, 'block_32caf81ff...', 'div', 'field') #11 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/pro/blocks.php(543): acf_rendered_block(Array, '', true, 1307, Object(WP_Block)) #12 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-block.php(586): acf_render_block_callback(Array, '', Object(WP_Block)) #13 /var/www/html/wp-includes/blocks.php(2358): WP_Block->render() #14 /var/www/html/wp-includes/blocks.php(2410): render_block(Array) #15 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): do_blocks('<!-- wp:acf/her...') #16 /var/www/html/wp-includes/plugin.php(205): WP_Hook->apply_filters('<!-- wp:acf/her...', Array) #17 /var/www/html/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-posts-controller.php(1961): apply_filters('the_content', '<!-- wp:acf/her...') #18 /var/www/html/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-posts-controller.php(655): WP_REST_Posts_Controller->prepare_item_for_response(Object(WP_Post), Object(WP_REST_Request)) #19 /var/www/html/wp-includes/rest-api/class-wp-rest-server.php(1292): WP_REST_Posts_Controller->get_item(Object(WP_REST_Request)) #20 /var/www/html/wp-includes/rest-api/class-wp-rest-server.php(1125): WP_REST_Server->respond_to_request(Object(WP_REST_Request), '/wp/v2/pages/(?...', Array, NULL) #21 /var/www/html/wp-includes/rest-api.php(586): WP_REST_Server->dispatch(Object(WP_REST_Request)) #22 /var/www/html/wp-includes/rest-api.php(2973): rest_do_request(Object(WP_REST_Request)) #23 [internal function]: rest_preload_api_request(Array, '/wp/v2/pages/13...') #24 /var/www/html/wp-includes/block-editor.php(754): array_reduce(Array, 'rest_preload_ap...', Array) #25 /var/www/html/wp-admin/edit-form-blocks.php(114): block_editor_rest_api_preload(Array, Object(WP_Block_Editor_Context)) #26 /var/www/html/wp-admin/post.php(187): require('/var/www/html/w...') #27 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/fields/class-acf-field-icon_picker.php on line 132

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create an ACF block with an icon picker field with a custom icon set.
  2. Use the following code (or similar) in functions.php to manage the custom icon set
add_filter('acf/fields/icon_picker/tabs', function(array $tabs): array {
    $tabs['nwlp'] = 'NWLP';
    return $tabs;
});
add_filter('acf/fields/icon_picker/nwlp/icons', function(array $icons): array {
    $base_url = get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/images/icons/';

    return [
        [
            'url'   => $base_url . 'accreditations.svg',
            'key'   => 'accreditations',
            'label' => 'Accreditations',
        ],
        [
            'url'   => $base_url . 'audio-podcast.svg',
            'key'   => 'audio-podcast',
            'label' => 'Audio podcast',
        ]
    ];
});
  1. Try to insert/edit a page where this block is embedded and the error should show.

Expected behavior
No error to show

Research direction

Start at includes/fields/class-acf-field-icon_picker.php line 132 and reproduce the failure with the custom tab and icon filters shown in the issue. Use the supplied ACF block configuration and WordPress/PHP versions to confirm the failing render path. Done means the page editor loads the block with the custom icon set without a fatal error.
