How to actually test a Shopify recurring charge

Question

I am writing a Shopify app that apply a recurring charge using Rails. When running: ShopifyAPI::RecurringApplicationCharge.get(1076285) I get:

{"activated_on"=>"2015-01-17",
 "api_client_id"=>414133,
 "billing_on"=>"2015-01-17",
 "cancelled_on"=>nil,
 "created_at"=>"2015-01-17T11:44:09+07:00",
 "id"=>1076285,
 "name"=>"Business",
 "price"=>"99.90",
 "return_url"=>
  "https://test14sl.myshopify.com/admin/apps/mshopdev//shops/confirm",
 "status"=>"active",
 "test"=>nil,
 "trial_days"=>0,
 "trial_ends_on"=>"2015-01-17",
 "updated_at"=>"2015-01-17T11:46:24+07:00",
 "decorated_return_url"=>
  "https://test14sl.myshopify.com/admin/apps/mshopdev//shops/confirm?charge_id=1076285"}

Now seding a get request to: https://test14sl.myshopify.com/admin/recurring_application_charges.json

it gives me:

{"recurring_application_charges":[]}

How can I make sure that at the end of the 30 days cycle, I see my app payment entry in the user's receipt/invoice?

Why do you need this info? I've checked the recurring_application_charges.json in a production store with store owner logged in and I get the same. So I guess Shopify has an issue in the API docs on this. If you check by providing the specific charge ID, I'm positive you'll get the answer. Try to do a GET to this: /admin/recurring_application_charges/#{id}.json
