It seems that the problem was with my OS version. After I updating my mac to Mojave, I am able to preview USDZ files and also I am able to convert them to SceneView in Xcode 10.

In order to use brand-new USDZ file format in RealityKit or in SceneKit's Scene graph, and to use command line tool's conversions via usdzconvert or xcrun commands, you need Xcode 11 or higher for RealityKit, or Xcode 10 or higher for SceneKit, and, of course, Swift 5 to be installed on MacOS Catalina or macOS Mojave.
