With pact boons now being invocations, can I pick one of them when taking the feat Eldritch Adept?
I tried to do that with one of my characters and the pacts don't show up as options. Is it not something you can do? Is it because I didn't buy the 2024 player's handbook? Or is it a mistake/oversight by dndbeyond?
The rules allow it provided it doesn't have a requirement. Because Eldritch Invocations were moved to 1st level (down from 2nd), many invocations that previously had no requirements in 2014 now require Warlock level 2 and are no longer eligible for the feat. The Pact invocations don't have a requirement though, so they're fair game. I don't know if the DDB character creator currently allows it (there's a few outstanding bugs involving the mixing of 2014 and 2024 features) but I highly doubt you have access to the invocations from the 2024 PHB without having bought it.
I can't say for certain how they intend for it to work, but I just checked by making a quick bard (I do have the 2024 stuff purchased) and Eldritch Adept still only shows 2014 Invocations (include the 2014 versions of ones that have been updated). Fighting Initiate currently works the same way also, so they haven't updated them to include the new stuff and I don't know if they plan to.
There is still no word from the dnd beyond team about fixing this bug. I prefer making my characters both on paper and in dnd beyond because it helps me track information but I cannot make the character in the app until they fix this.

I don't think it's intended that you use this 2014 feat with the new invocations.

You mean in the app? Or now allowed per the rules?
For example, Pact of the Blade doesn't have any prerequisites.

This is one of the cases in using old material where I think people should just wait and see what happen some of the old feats don't seem to mesh well with the current rules.
Trying to mix and match the two rule sets is messy. Don't expect DDB to handle it well. It still has missing functionality for very straightforward 2014 RAW features. You shouldn't expect them to have everything in 2024 rules, let alone their odd interactions set in place.

I'm probably laughing.
It is apparently so hard to program Aberrant Mind and Clockwork Soul spell-swapping into dndbeyond they had to remake the game without it rather than implement it.

Is there a way to make a customer feat to give the invocation?
Closest you could do would be a feat which grants options that replicate the effects of the invocations. Might be doable.

Just for the rules.
