Targeting iframe elements nested within angular app #1528

Login for my app is an external iframe. For some of my e2e tests I require a user to be logged in. I'm trying to create a login function but can't target the ifame inputs. I've tried switching frame:

ptor.switchTo().frame('loginIframe'); element(by.id('username')).sendKeys(username);

but getting the error:

Error: Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page: {"message":"angular is not defined"....

I'm guess that because the iframe isn't an angular feature protractor falls over. Is there a workaround for this? Since protractor is built on webdriver can I use webdriver to target?
