How can my Github App get an access token that have the permission to create an issue?

What i tried

I enabled all the permissions in the Settings-> Developer settings -> GitHub Apps -> Permissions and webhook page, follow the instructions to get access token, then make a request referring the docs，but get the response below:

{ "message": "Resource not accessible by integration", "documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/#create-an-issue" }

but everything work out fine when I use personal access token to make this request.

Great, detailed write up of the issue you're encountering!

follow the instructions to get access token

I think this may be the cause of the issues you are running into. You've created a GitHub App, but you are looking at the instructions for authorizing OAuth Apps.

The docs for "Authenticating with GitHub Apps" are probably what you are looking for: https://developer.github.com/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/
