Sorry, I should've specified it was the downloads folder where it's generic icons in the dock. I tried moving the file(s) out of it to the desktop and back, but it didn't solve it.. Although the file icon returned when it was on the desktop.
Ah, that explains why they still didn't re-generate despite updating the app, running its "register file types" utility several times and updating to 13.0.1 didn't help...
I can tell you more. Developer of archiver I contacted about this issue said it's not solved in latest 13.1 beta. He also said similar issue existed in Catalina and it wasn't fixed until Big Sur. So we're quite some time away from fix but fingers crossed.
So clearing the icon cache isn't going to help anyway? I recall something similar happening between two major releases, maybe it was them.
No, it won't help. I didn't help me as well. It's a bug in AppKit framework.
It's really frustrating how these bugs pass QA and the beta period, and then end up not being fixed for months post-release.
Heh, that's actually my main issue. All we can hope for is that they finally catch it in the final 13.1 release.

Same here, getting very tired of staring at the same generic icons everywhere. How haven't they found and fixed this yet considering it's so widespread?
Title: Third party document icons not displayed properly on macOS 13
Area: AppKit
Issue: Incorrect/Unexpected behaviour
Third party applications that define icons for macOS recognized document types are not displayed properly on macOS 13.
To reproduce:
- Download Keka or another app that defines icons for system known formats (like ZIP, MOV)
- Be sure to set that application as the default handler for the document type (ZIP, MOV).
- Restart the system if needed to refresh icon caches.
- The custom icons will show properly in the Finder but will show blank where they’re displayed using [NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace iconForFileNSString *)].
You can check this adding a folder with the offending files inside to the Dock, as shown in the screenshots.
Additional info:
This was reported by three users already (more to come) and reproduced by me.

macOS 13.0 Beta 22A5286j displayed the macOS icons, instead of the custom ones.
macOS 13.0 22A380 and later (tested macOS 13.1 Beta 22C5044e as well) display blank icons.
Nice find!According to this post here, it's related to an API change within Macos.
We can report this issue to Apple directly. On the same page is a text you can copy/paste

File icons not appearing since upgrading to MacOS Ventura
Since I upgraded to MacOS Ventura, icons for files like .mp4 and .doc in Alfred do not appear. I've attached screenshots showing how an .mp4 file does not have an icon in Alfred, but has the VLC icon in Finder. How can I get the icons to appear for all file types, including video files, in Alfred?www.alfredforum.com
