Change NSUrl to QLPreviewItem

How can I convert NSUrl to QLPreviewItem? In the QLPreviewItem.h, it is written that the below category makes NSURL instances as suitable items for the Preview Controller:

@interface NSURL (QLPreviewConvenienceAdditions) <QLPreviewItem>

How can I use it if in my code I have:

- (id <QLPreviewItem>) previewController: (QLPreviewController *) controller previewItemAtIndex: (NSInteger) index
{       
        NSString *path=[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[filenamesArray objectAtIndex:index] ofType:nil];
        NSURL *url =  [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
        return //QLpreview item from URL;
}

Or using Swift:

func previewController(_ controller: QLPreviewController, previewItemAt index: Int) -> QLPreviewItem {
    let resumeUrl = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "resume", withExtension: "docx")!
    return resumeUrl as QLPreviewItem
}

You can just return the NSURL, it will work.

I've been using this:

if([downloadData writeToURL:self.fileUrl options:NSDataWritingAtomic error:&error])
(...)

And then I used the same URL as QLPreviewItem:

- (id <QLPreviewItem>)previewController:(QLPreviewController *)controller previewItemAtIndex:(NSInteger)index
{
    return self.fileUrl;
}
