I just solved this problem.

You must add the service account email ("[e-mail]") in your google play publish page(https://play.google.com/apps/publish/, not the google developer console).

at "Settings"-"User account & rights", "Invite new user", submit with service account email, check the "View financial reports" right, then everythings works ok~
