I even tried to reinstall the distro, but it still doesn't work. If the issue is not related to ironbar, then the only thing it could be related to is polkit (I don't use systemd and use seatd instead of elogind). Could you please check and let me know if it works for you.

P.S. I can run nautilus from terminal and it works

Logs would be cool to see, but anyway, I would try running nautilus in your terminal with gtk-launch (it takes a desktop file path), since that's what ironbar uses to launch things in the launcher. Also, I would suggest the next time you make an issue, to use the bug report template so you would've known to provide logs, and config.

gtk-launch

Ohhhh I'm sorry, that's my bad. I didn't know that ironbar uses this and corresponding appliction address structure. Fixed the issue by changing "nautilus" to "org.gnome.Nautilus".
